After spending Saturday watching UT v Oklahoma and every other game on the tube, I needed to stretch my legs so Sunday we headed back to Eagle River to hike out to Hanging Valley. Below freezing so the drive up Hiland Road was slippery with black ice in the shaded sections. Felt the rear slide several times. One of the group I was meeting actually rolled her SUV on the way up! She was not hurt but still a crappy way to start the day.
We hiked in about 7 miles to the head of the valley. Very sore legs from the straight up/down hike Friday. It was neat looking across the valley at Harp Mountain knowing we climbed to the top. Ate lunch on the east side of the valley in the sunshine. A small tarn located there was already solid ice. Once the sun hid behind the mountains, it got cold real fast. Nice hike out past two moose who stared at us as we stared at them.
The last picture is Harp Mountain. We climbed it last week.
